11 Days South Africa & Mauritius Tour

---

Day 1 Arrival in Johannesburg

Welcome to Johannesburg, you will be met by a friendly travel representative.

From Johannesburg, head north to Madikwe, a malaria-free game reserve, making it ideal for children too young to take anti-malarial medicine. The journey is best done in a short one-hour plane journey, which enables you to maximise your time on safari.

Accommodation: Madikwe Safari Lodge

Meals & Drinks: Dinner (Breakfast & lunch not included)

Day 2 Transfer to Madikwe Game Reserve

Your home for the next four days will be Madikwe Lelapa Lodge, where your stay is on a full-board basis and is therefore inclusive of safari activities and conservation fees.

Lelapa literally means ‘family’, and this lodge uniquely places family at the heart of their entire enterprise. Children of all ages are welcome, making for a relaxing and welcoming stay for parents and infants alike. Ultimately, what we love about Lelapa, is the emphasis it puts on families spending quality time together, sharing adventures and building memories. Rooms exude a cosy home-from-home feel, helping children settle in with their own hot chocolate mugs, snuggly robes, slippers, fun bunk beds and storybooks.

Accommodation: Madikwe Safari Lodge

Meals & Drinks: All meals included

Day 3-4 On Safari in Madikwe

Spacious rooms, spectacular game viewing opportunities and captivating guides aren’t Lelapa’s only star draws. Special family "bumble drives" welcome families with small children under 6 to experience the natural world together, stopping to point out all the quirky and wonderful things that capture youngsters’ interest. From ages 6 and up, children are further welcome to join the twice-daily signature game drives. Particularly beloved amongst family guests, is Lelapa’s "Mack and Madi adventure safari club", named for the lodge owners’ two children (now grown). Days at the club can involve anything from meeting Debbie - the resident bearded dragon - to cakes and bakes. What’s more, every family is assigned a childminder, who is on hand to take care of your children and help them explore the natural world, perhaps freeing you up for a date night sipping champagne by the fireside, whilst the little ones are safely looked after by their newest best friends.

Accommodation: Madikwe Safari Lodge

Meals & Drinks: All meals included

Day 6-10 Beach time at Shanti Maurice, Mauritius

After an exciting week of safari-themed adventure, it’s time for some rest and relaxation by the ocean. The pristine shores of Mauritius are just a short flight from South Africa and provide the perfect self-contained base from which to unwind in peace. Find your new home at Shanti Maurice for five nights in a luxury double suite pool villa on a full-board basis.

Little ones will find a world of fun at Les Petits Dodo, offering games and crafts by day, and movies and pyjama parties by night. Family dining is offered from 6:30, with an extensive children’s menu offering a diverse and delicious range of nutritious meals.
